Voight Poetry Reflections – July 7, 2017

VFSF: Poetry Reflections
Paradise Ridge Winery
Sunday, July 16th, 2017 @ 1:00 pm

The Voigt Family Sculpture Foundation proudly presents Poetry Reflections, an afternoon of literary delight! It is with great pleasure that we welcome Dana Gioia, Poet Laureate of California and former Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts and Iris Jamahl Dunkle, Poet Laureate of Sonoma County who will read and perform some of their works in the sculpture grove at, Wind Curtain, created by Ned Kahn.

They will also be joined by Poetry Out Loud champions Seryna Bonacorso, from El Molino High School and Sarah Condello, from Analy High School, and youth who recently attended the Poetry Camp at the winery, creating poems from their interpretations of sculptures throughout the current exhibition Geometric Reflections: Ten Years of Voigt Family Sculpture.

We are pleased to dedicate this event to Dr. Walter Byck, who has so generously welcomed us into this creative partnership with his family and Paradise Ridge Winery. Poetry is the sculpture of language, words coming together to form an artful display of emotion, truth, and beauty. We are happy to bring sculpture, verse and, of course, wine together in this splendid setting!

Dana and Iris will be signing books at the end of the event and books will available to purchase.

During the event, light snacks and water will be served and wine will be available to purchase.

This event is free.
